Graeme Patterson
Short Bio 2011

Originating from Saskatoon, now living in Sacville, NB Graeme Patterson’s practice stems from
a self developed approach to creating stop-motion animation. This “do it yourself” method
is consistent in all facets of his production. Since graduating from NSCAD in 2002 his
projects can be described as sculptural installations consisting of video, robotics, audio,
music, and some interactive components. Generally he works in miniature using a 1:10 scale
which originates from childhood. His installations attempt to bring the viewer in to the world
of play Graeme exists in while creating his stop-motion animations. From 2004- 2007 he
created a large body of work entitled “Woodrow”. This 10 piece installation encompasses
all aspects of his practice. All of his work is based on personal memories and life experience
with a mix of fantasy and surrealism. Currently Graeme is working towards another 3 year
project to be shown in 2013 focusing on issues related to friendship, communication, and
an understanding of his generation.
